About Event

Join us for the Revved AI Agent Hackathon — a high-energy, in-person workshop designed to get you building with AI in real time. Over three hours, you’ll go from concept to working prototype — guided by Eoghan Neligan of Gravity, surrounded by curious, ambitious peers, and powered by the kind of live energy only Revved. delivers.

We’re cutting through the AI hype and bullshit to bring you real-world tools, tangible use cases, and the kind of clarity that keeps your business moving forward - not stuck in the noise.

Places are strictly limited and will move fast. Grab your seat today.

What’s an AI Agent, Anyway?
An AI agent is a tool that can process information, make decisions, or automate tasks - powered by models like GPT or custom machine learning.
Examples include:

  • A chatbot that answers internal FAQs

  • A smart inbox that flags your most urgent messages

  • A tool that scans contracts for risk language

  • A proposal builder that drafts client-ready decks based on a few bullet points

At the hackathon, you’ll work in small groups to prototype a simple, practical agent with expert support, and walk away with a clear sense of what’s possible next.

Who It’s For
Ideal for professionals in:

  • Marketing – campaign performance, lead targeting

  • Finance – forecasting, anomaly spotting

  • Legal – contract review, compliance

  • Risk/Ops – fraud detection, alert systems

But really, it’s for anyone ready to understand how AI will reshape business - and take the first steps to use it well.

No technical background needed - just bring your brain, your laptop, and your curiosity.

Introducing your host for the day Eoghan Neligan.

Eoghan Neligan is a founder who skips the ‘bold ideas’ theatre and builds what actually lands - turning early-stage chaos into solutions that deliver commercial results.

He’s not a hype guy. He’s the strategic architect behind ventures that actually land. The one who filters signal from noise, pressure-tests what’s real, and builds systems that let high-agency teams move fast without faking it.

Eoghan doesn’t posture. He produces. With deep fluency across product, pricing, and commercial architecture, he’s the rare founder who codes, validates, and commercialises - all in one.

After years' operating inside enterprise boardrooms, he now works on the outside partnering with executives, investors, and high-performance teams to launch ventures that win by design, not by luck. From concept to commercialisation, he brings a rare ability to simplify complexity and clarify what matters most.

Eoghan’s work lives in the space between:

  • Vision and velocity

  • Structure and speed

  • Strategy and surface-level theatre

He’s not chasing exits. He’s engineering the conditions that make real wins possible - at pace, with purpose, and without compromise.
